Distributed data collection across multiple nodes

Abstract

A remote compute device stores a first workgroup table. The first workgroup table identifies similarly profiled information handling systems for a first workgroup. A processor receives a telemetry data request from an application and determines a plurality of data sets within the telemetry data request. The processor determines a distribution of the data sets among the similarly profiled information handling systems of the first workgroup. The processor provides a different data set to a different information handling system of the first similarly profiled information handling systems. The processor receives collected data from each of the first similarly profiled information handling systems of the first workgroup and combines the collected data into complete collected data set. The processor provides the complete collected data set to the application.
